Palestinian bulldozer operator Ali al-Attar told Al Jazeera that the level of destruction he is seeing in Gaza is “truly beyond comprehension.” “Just opening the roads alone will take at least a month, just so people can access the area,” he said. “The bulldozers are in poor condition. The one I’m using is leaking oil and needs major repairs. To be honest, we need 20 times the number of bulldozers we have got.”
Authorities in Gaza say the latest aerial imagery from the United Nations shows that some 41,000 housing units have been destroyed in Gaza City alone. This translates into more than 8 million cubic meters (283 million cubic feet) of rubble.
